Overview

Mission

We believe no domesticated animal should be left to die alone in a pound. Our goal is to generate funds to save the lives of pets at high kill shelters across the U.S.Through RV donations and sales, we allocate a portion of profits to reputable animal charities on the front lines of this crisis.

What it reported doing in 2021

Donated proceeds from RV Sales to various charities in relation to our mission.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 77% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.

The verdict

REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and expenses are high relative to revenue.
